giftee for Business Adopted for Nittoseiko's New Shareholder Benefit Program, Offering Custom Digital Catalog Gifts of Local Specialties and 'giftee Box®' for Shareholders to Choose From

Giftee Inc. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Mutsumi Ota, Tatsuya Suzuki; hereinafter "Giftee"), a provider of e-gift platform services (※1), announces that its corporate and government-focused digital gifting service, "giftee for Business" (※2), has been adopted by Nittoseiko Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Ayabe City, Kyoto Prefecture; President & CEO: Makoto Araga; hereinafter "Nittoseiko") for its newly established shareholder benefit program. The distribution of benefits to eligible shareholders was successfully conducted from March to May 2026. Utilizing its "Catalog Gift System" (※3), Giftee compiled and generated an original digital catalog gift featuring local specialties unique to Nittoseiko. Additionally, Giftee provided the digital gift box "giftee Box®" (※4) as a benefit option, along with a comprehensive solution for efficient benefit distribution. The creation of the Ayabe City specialty product catalog was realized through collaboration with Kicchihaike Inc. (Headquarters: Asabetsu Town, Hiyama District, Hokkaido; CEO: Masaya Yamamoto; hereinafter "Kicchihaike").

The number of listed companies implementing shareholder benefit programs has reached approximately 1,600, or about 35% of all listed stocks (as of end-July 2025), marking an increase for the first time in six years, according to recent industry trends (※5). However, for B2B-focused corporations, there is a structural challenge in preparing suitable benefit items in-house due to the nature of their products and services, often resulting in reliance on generic gift cards or prepaid vouchers. This has made it difficult to offer unique, company-specific benefits or to enhance shareholder satisfaction.

Since its launch in 2016, "giftee for Business" has addressed diverse corporate needs across industries, supporting campaigns and marketing initiatives such as survey incentives, store visit promotions, and social media campaigns, with over 81,000 cumulative implementations (※6). In particular, its core products, "giftee Box®" and "eraberuPay®" (※7), allow recipients to select their preferred gifts and offer high usability across Japan, making them widely adopted for nationwide campaigns and shareholder benefit programs. Beyond digital gifting, Giftee also provides integrated solutions for efficient distribution of shareholder benefits. Since April 2025, Giftee has fully launched its "Catalog Gift System," which compiles and generates original digital catalog gifts featuring carefully selected items aligned with a specific theme. These digital catalog gifts, created via Giftee's system, allow recipients to browse products online and redeem their allocated tickets for preferred items. The catalogs can feature diverse offerings, including physical goods, e-gifts for stores and facilities, and experience-based gifts. Recipients can freely select items based on the number of tickets received, providing a thoughtful gifting experience that respects both the giver and receiver by obscuring direct price information.

Nittoseiko Co., Ltd. is a total fastening solutions provider offering industrial fasteners (screws), screw tightening machines, and measurement/inspection equipment. On November 13, 2025, the company announced the establishment of a new shareholder benefit program, aiming to build long-term relationships with shareholders and promote the charm of Ayabe City, Kyoto Prefecture, where the company was founded. In considering digital gifts as benefits, Nittoseiko selected Giftee for its ability to compile an original digital catalog gift featuring Ayabe City specialties in collaboration with designated local businesses, as well as for its end-to-end service capability, including the production and delivery of custom-designed gift cards and management of personal information.

In this initiative, Giftee has compiled and provided two benefit options: the digital gift box "giftee Box®" and an original digital catalog gift using the "Catalog Gift System." The catalog gift features a selection of local Ayabe City specialties, allowing shareholders to redeem tickets for their preferred items. Giftee also provided a solution for efficient distribution of benefits via a dedicated webpage. Starting from the first reference date of December 31, 2025, shareholders holding 500 or more shares receive a custom gift card with a QR code. By scanning the code, shareholders can access a dedicated site and choose between the original Ayabe City specialty digital catalog gift or "giftee Box®." For the digital catalog gift, shareholders can select one item from a lineup worth 3,000 yen or 6,000 yen, based on their shareholding. For "giftee Box®," shareholders can combine multiple gifts from a wide selection within their allocated points of 2,000, 4,000, or 8,000 points, depending on their shareholding.

The entire process, including identity verification on the dedicated page, benefit selection, and instant issuance of "giftee Box®," is enabled by the distribution solutions provided by "giftee for Business." Giftee also offers end-to-end services, including the production and mailing of custom gift cards and management of personal information.

"giftee for Business" will continue to advance service development, improvements, and collaborations with other companies to meet diverse corporate needs. The company will continue to deliver new value through gifting, including the digitalization of shareholder benefits and applications in employee welfare and promotional initiatives.

Suitable for brands offering a wide range of products from casual to high-end items, such as kitchenware, baby/kids' goods, and food specialty stores, it can promote brand gifting for occasions like childbirth, marriage, and new life. The system also supports curated product lineups based on themes like region, health, ingredients, or original concepts, and can be used for seasonal customer gifts, corporate gifts for employees, or as return gifts for hometown tax donations featuring local specialties.
